Joe should have been at the Lincoln site ... but, I'll take it as a signal that even God wasn't too pleased with the 'Weenie-in-Chief' not respecting the troops interred at Arlington by causing his 'speech' (how does TOTUS work in the rain anyway?) to be rained out ... thankyewjayzus ...

Yes, friends and neighbors, there actually IS a God. Obama's Speech Rained Out Seems a bit of poetic justice for the first President in AGES to feel that going to Arlington National Cemetery wasn't as important as getting his vacation in. 1983: Reagan attended summit meeting; Defense Department official Thayer laid wreath at Arlington. 1992: George H.W. Bush allowed VP Quayle to lay wreath. The Globe reported that President George H.W. Bush attended a wreath-laying ceremony and made brief remarks at an American Legion hall in Kennebunkport, Maine, where he also played a round of golf. 2007: Cheney attends ceremony to pay tribute at Arlington as Bush remained in Texas. "President Bush honored U.S. troops past and present at a tearful ceremony Sunday for four Texans who died there." The AP further reported that "Vice President Dick Cheney went to Arlington to pay tribute to Iraq veterans." The ONLY President (since LBJ first declared Memorial Day to be a national holiday in 1964) who attended the ceremony every year for their ENTIRE term in office was Bill Clinton. http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/index.php The years that Presidents attended and made a speech Lyndon Johnson 1966 Gerald Ford 1975 and 1976 Jimmy Carter 1980 Ronald Reagan 1982, 1984, 1985, 1986 and 1988 George Bush (Sr) 1989 William Clinton 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000 George W Bush 2001, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 Barack Obama 2009

Winx, you know that the truth doesn't compute for some people, right? This is the second time that has been posted on this thread. I have to wonder if the un-American right wing hate sites have a hypnotic, brainwashing cult effect on folks that prevents the brain from absorbing any information that may show the site for the ******** that it is??????

Since Afghanistan is now Obama's war(He campaigned it... as the right war)) ....You'd think Obama would go where MOST Americans want their presidents on Memorial Day...and the list above proves that.

Well, since I am an American and I can only speak for myself, it did not bother me that he was not at Arlington National Cemetery. What it seems like to me is people are looking for anything to complain about, though.

also look up the translation of barack obama in the bible http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcbloBA2Lek&feature=related you do realize ANYONE can post anything to youtube? Mubarak ( مبارك Mubārak) is an Arabic given name, translating to "blessed one". A variant form is Barak or Barack ( بارك Bārak, not to be confused with the unrelated Hebrew name Baraq; also anglicized as "Barak" or "Barack"). ... My daughters name translates to "Gods gift" ,, I suppose if she becomes president someday, her opponents will swear she is the second coming and her proponents will make the leap that she must be Jesus himself....smh

It is the "short form" affidavit, a Certification of Live Birth (COLB) with standard information left out, such as the actual name of the birth hospital and the name of the attending physician.

Well, GEE, I guess I got ripped off by the Bureau of Vital Statistics, 'cuz I ordered two replacement copies of mine and they were all EMBOSSED around the edge with a RAISED SEAL ... they look completely DIFFERENT from my 'Certificate of Live Birth' that I also have - and yes, it's the original 'COLB' ... When 'The ONE' produces one that's equal to MINE in quality and originalism AND is also the LONG FORM (not the internet version of the 'COLB', THEN I'll believe him - not before - and not until then. Oh - If he's traveling on a US PASSPORT, I'd like to see that at the same time ...

Yes I know he needs to be impeached already and yes I am a veteran myself and I called the white house and complained already as well. I urge everyone to write to the white house and complain as well. The phone number is 202-456-1414 for the white house and for Vice President Biden it is 202-456-9000. The address is The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20500 or of course just go to the website http://www.whitehouse.gov/ and type in a comment I just wrote to the white house and complainded, hopefully action will take place and Obama will be replaced with someone more experienced who can really lead and bring this country out of its hurt state.
